Arts in the School Night
I have only been at Rossview Elementary a short while, and am thoroughly enjoying making art with the students. We recently had a great "Arts in the school night" to celebrate Youth Art Month. The entire school works together to make art about different cultures around the world. Each grade level divides into continents and studies the art and culture of the people from that place. All of the teachers did an amazing job displaying student art work!
PRE-K & KINDERGARTEN
Australia
Students made Aboriginal Dot Paintings of a Kangaroo.
They also created x-ray fish and learned that the native aboriginal people believe that by showing the insides of an animal you are showing the animals true feelings.

Fifth Graders studied the art of Georgia O'Keeffee and Pop Art from Andy Warhol.
In their classrooms students made brochures to tour America and made state flags.
They had some great interpretations for these artists!
ART CLUB!
I have about 30 great Art Club students who made paper mache hot air balloons and painted them in themes of from different countries from around the world. They have been working on artist trading cards too, which I will have to do a follow up on...
